Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

The purpose of this study is to learn about possible changes in brain anatomy and function, and in thinking abilities, such as memory skills, in patients with ovarian cancer who receive treatment with chemotherapy. Cancer patients treated with chemotherapy may experience changes in thinking abilities, and these may interfere with quality of life. Most of the research to date has involved patients with breast cancer, and there are no studies in women with ovarian cancer looking at at treatment-related changes in brain anatomy and function.

This is an expanded access program (EAP) for eligible patients with Recurrent Ovarian Cancer. This program is designed to provide access to niraparib prior to approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). To be eligible, patients with Recurrent Ovarian Cancer following a partial (PR) or complete response (CR) to their most recent platinum-based chemotherapy and must have experienced a PR or CR after the penultimate (next to last) platinum-based chemotherapy for at least 6 months without disease progression after this chemotherapy.

44 patients were enrolled in this study as they had malignant epithelial ovarian tumor.Pre-operative staging was assessed by CT scan based on FIGO classification and compared to the standard laparotomy surgical staging. Maximal surgical effort for Optimum cytoreduction was achieved and the risk factors for sub-optimal cytoreduction were studied

The purpose of this study is to develop new image analysis method using Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) for ovarian cancer. MRI is not currently part of the standard care for ovarian cancer. In this method, a contrast agent is used to make ovarian cancer visible during imaging.

An ovarian cancer cell line (OVTW-59) derived from an ovarian endometrioid carcinoma was established and its sublines, labeled as P0, P1, P2, P3, and P4 with increasing invasion abilities were selected from transwell invasion chambers.Using cDNA microarray and verified with quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, we have identified IGFBP-3 as an invasion-suppressor gene. We plan to study the role of IGFBP-3 in ovarian cancer invasion.

This is a multi-center, observational study in Japan. Patients with newly diagnosed FIGO stage III - IV advanced OC will be enrolled sequentially. In this study, data of 200 subjects will be collected at approximately 20 sites in Japan. To reduce regional bias of study sites, the number of enrolled patients per site will be capped

Investigators studied a population of 28 low grade serous ovarian carcinoma treated in Hospices civils de Lyon between 2000 and 2022. The primary objective is to determinate the rate of myometrial involvement by the cancer at pathology examination. Then, investigators compared patients with or without myometrial involvement : survival parameters, predictive factors of myometrial involvement (age, CA 125 level, surgery characteristics, pathology characteristics).

The combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin is the standard first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer as recommended by the NCCN Guidelines for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, and is conventionally given via intravenous route every three weeks. The addition of target therapy (bevacizumab) has shown to improve progression free survival but not overall survival. Several trials have also demonstrated a clinically significant survival advantage associated with intraperitoneal chemotherapy compared to intravenous chemotherapy, and the best outcomes are consistently seen for patients who have no residual disease. This study aims to compare triweekly chemotherapy with bevacizumab versus intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer.

This is a single-arm, open label, expanded access program to provide access to olaparib tablets for relapsed high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer patients (including patients with primary peritoneal and / or fallopian tube cancer) with BRCA mutations (documented mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 that is predicted to be deleterious or suspected deleterious [known or predicted to be detrimental/lead to loss of function]) who have responded following platinum based chemotherapy. Patients may continue to receive study treatment until disease progression as assessed by the investigator according to local standard clinical practice or any other discontinuation criteria are met.

Background: Monocytes are a type of white blood cell found in human blood. They help the immune system. Researchers have found that monocytes taken from the blood of healthy people can kill tumor cells. Now they want to know if monocytes taken from the blood of people with ovarian cancer can kill tumor cells. In addition, native host anti-tumor cell mediated immune mechanisms may play a role in clinical outcome of epithelial ovarian cancer; data indicate that the presence of intra-tumoral CD3+ T-cells was shown to prognosticate improved outcome in advanced ovarian cancer. Furthermore, non-cellular components in the blood, such as exosomes, may influence outcome. Objective: - To see if monocytes taken from the blood of people with ovarian cancer can kill tumor cells. Eligibility: - Women 18 years and older with ovarian cancer. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history and physical exam. Blood tests. CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis and/or an MRI. For these scans, they will lie in a machine that takes pictures of their body. A small amount of blood (two tubes) will be collected by needle during one visit.
